To say that my daughter loved these books (written and illustrated by Mo Willems) would be an understatement. The stories are so relatable to the preschooler's experience, the dialogue so amusing, and the illustrations so eye-catching that it's hard to imagine a child not being captivated. In the first book, Trixie loses her beloved Knuffle Bunny on a trip to the laundromat and her Mommy and Daddy search to find it. In the second, she brings Knuffle Bunny to preschool only to discover that a classmate has one just like it, and the teacher accidentally mixes them up! In the end, an exchange is made in the middle of the night on the streets of Brooklyn, and the girls wind up being friends. Even adults will enjoy the humorous story line and dialogue. The illustrations are particularly fun because they combine photographs of Brooklyn with original drawings. There are many more works by Willems to enjoy, but these were my daughter's ultimate favorites.
